Chapter 957: Temporary Stay

The atmosphere gradually became so awkward that it was hard to cope.

Ye Wanting stared at the drip tube.

Yaen Chi repeatedly fiddled with the lighter.

No one spoke.

Until Madam Ye returned with a paper cup, even the sound of her footsteps easily broke the awkwardness.

She poured Yaen Chi a cup of water and warmly engaged him in conversation.

The water was boiling, just half a cup, and Yaen Chi held the upper part of the cup.

No matter what Madam Ye chatted with him about, he could respond immediately.

During the chat, the medicine was finished.

Ye Wanting didn’t call the nurse; she pulled it out herself, using a cotton swab that Yaen Chi brought to press down on it.

She tried to grab it, didn’t even touch it when Yaen Chi flicked his fingers, his index finger just poking her palm, she was startled and withdrew her hand, not daring to move.

Once it stopped bleeding, Yaen Chi removed the cotton swab.

He offered to take them, Ye Wanting wanted to refuse, but she couldn’t speak faster than Madam Ye.

Before leaving, Yaen Chi drank the half cup of water and threw the cup into the trash can at the door.

“Brother Yaen Chi, let me set up the navigation for you.”

“Mm, go ahead.”

Ye Wanting sat in the back seat, reached over, and tapped a few times on the screen.

Yaen Chi didn’t look, just followed the navigation instructions, and soon realized something was wrong; this wasn’t the direction to her home.

He didn’t ask anything, and finally, the car stopped under an old apartment building.

Yaen Chi glanced out the window, “Where is this?”

“It’s a relative’s place, we are staying here temporarily,” Madam Ye said, “I mentioned it to them over the phone when we were at the hospital this afternoon.”

Yaen Chi turned to look at Ye Wanting, asked, “Moved out from home?”

“Ah, actually…”

Ye Wanting pulled on Madam Ye, stopping her from speaking further, “Yes, looking for a smaller place.”

“Any plans?”

“No, still looking.”

Yaen Chi: “Need my help?”

She smiled and shook her head, “No, I haven’t decided where to live yet.

Probably somewhere near school, the place there is easy to rent, I’ll handle it myself.”

Yaen Chi frowned, the car was dimly lit, and he was against the light, making it hard to see his expression clearly.

Nothing was said after that, Ye Wanting helped Madam Ye out of the car.

They thanked Yaen Chi and said goodbye.

He sat in the car, watching her slender figure as she walked away, becoming more frail with every step.

He looked up again at the building, with only six floors, of the oldest style, without an elevator, and the stairs were hollow.

Each time they climbed a floor, the noise of their footsteps would activate the voice-controlled lights.

The balcony of the living room extended outward, made with average materials, many units used the balcony as storage, only a few cultivated flowers.

Yaen Chi’s car happened to be parked under someone’s balcony, an old lady was watering flowers, unable to see below, the watering can tipped enough to pour onto his car roof.

He turned on the wipers and drove away.

…

Chu Yao was filming nocturnal scenes.

Mo Tingshen sat next to the Director, watching her flirt with the third male lead in the frame.

This scene was about her being pregnant and found by the prince from an enemy nation, who tampered with the incense to send her attendants away and sneaked into her room at midnight with malicious intent.

Chu Yao was highly alert, noticed the unusual smell, and quickly grabbed a cloth, opening the lid of the kettle on the table, pouring it all onto the cloth, covering her nose and mouth while smashing the incense, she was unaware when a poisoned needle shot into her back shoulder.

To save her life and protect the child in her womb, she craftily parried and negotiated with the third male lead.
